Tap Forms
Tap Forms is a personal and small-business database application for macOS that lets users create custom forms and databases to organize data like contacts, inventory, projects, recipes and other structured information. It supports rich fields including photos, attachments, dates, locations and calculations, syncs across Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and can export data to CSV or other formats. The app is designed for users who want database functionality without the complexity of SQL — it's popular with freelancers, small teams and individuals managing personal projects or lightweight business data.

1 suggestionTap Forms has moved to a native Apple Silicon build, now released as Tap Forms Pro, available as a subscription (approximately $50 per year). The developer confirmed in November 2024 that a native Apple Silicon version was in development and has since shipped it. If you are still running the Intel-only Tap Forms 5 under Rosetta 2, you should migrate to Tap Forms Pro to ensure the app continues working — Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point Tap Forms 5 will no longer launch. To switch, visit the Tap Forms website to download or subscribe to Tap Forms Pro; your existing Tap Forms 5 databases can be imported. Be aware that the new version is a subscription rather than a one-time purchase, so review the pricing and terms before upgrading.
